Meganebu! Episodes 1-4 review

Akira Souma and his bespectacled
friends are in the glasses club. As they work towards making a pair of X-Ray
glasses they continue their daily life. This is a tale of their many
misadventures as they go through school.

Meganebu! is a heavily stylized
work featuring saturated colours. The characters are one-dimensional for the
most part falling easily into various archetypes. The series has pleasant
slice-of-life feel to it.

The visuals are what make this
series a real treat to watch and experimentation going on. This may be
shameless wish fulfillment but it at least has a visual flair. It also excels
at what it does though if compared to its sibling series Free! it is by far the
less accessible to those outside the series target demographic. In conclusion
Meganebu! is a guilty pleasure and while
not a masterpiece by any extent of the imagination (not that it ever tries to
be) it is dumb fun.
